If fraud is found within the 2024 election, officers can now halt certification till the reality comes out
The Democrat Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar initially filed the lawsuit asking the justices to require the Washoe Board of County Commissioners to certify the June 9 major election outcomes for 2 races earlier than August 22 regardless of the continued allegations of fraud they obtained. He argued that counties don’t have the authority to withhold certification and that their vote can solely be “YES” to no matter outcomes they get. Moreover, he mentioned they will’t even examine or decide cases of fraud
That’s insanely weird. In keeping with him, even when there’s daylight proof of fraud, county officers are simply purported to certify anyway
The State Supreme Courtroom’s dismissal of the lawsuit is unbelievable. By deciding to not take motion now, they’re giving election officers the chance to pursue treatment if or when fraud happens as an alternative of forcing them to vote underneath duress.
